I believe this was the last song they recorded before Avi left the group. His departure had already been announced, and when they rotated to him at the beginning and he came in on “Shall I stay…” it brought a tear to my eye.

As soon as I heard you mention Imogen Heap, I checked to see if you'd reacted yet to PTX's cover of her song "Aha!", and you haven't. While there is an official very early music video of it, don't react to that. React instead to the one recorded live at the Star Vista in Singapore, from their 2015 tour. It's an epic performance that begins with the lead-in that Avi brought to it - a piece he'd performed with his chamber choir back in college - Ave Verum Corpus. My understanding is that they stopped using it after Avi left. Multiple Mitch slaps in that performance.
@PtxXtp11 ай бұрын
As great as that live performance is, it's not the best for someone who does an analysis based on the musical parts and arrangements. The sound quality of the cell phone video isn't great and it really only showcases Mitch and Avi. Kirstie, Scott and Kevin have some parts that need to be heard to fully appreciate that arrangement. If he did the official video followed by the live performance then it would make more sense to him. Also, there are actually better live performances from that same tour with good sound quality. It's just that Mitch didn't go full on beast mode in those so nobody talks about those live versions.
@karylmonaco817411 ай бұрын
@PtxXtp I agree that listening to the official video followed by Star Vista would lead to a fascinating reaction! To me, it is almost like listening to two different songs. As to other, better recordings from the tour--nothing beats Mitch in full-on beast mode!! I've tried so hard to find another live performance of Aha! to love, but I keep coming back to this one. For me, there just is no comparison.

It reminds you of bells because they're singing bell tones. When they released this album kevin went live and was breaking down the song's and he excitdly talked about loving the part where he and Kirstin sang the bell tones. It's become kind of a ptx staple and once you're aware they do them often they're pretty easy to pick out.

@@SirHairless you made me question if it was a real term or just something that they say so I looked it up. The Wikipedia definition of a bell tone is a musical technique in which a voice or instrument is made to imitate the sound of bells. It is characterized by a strong opening articulation followed by a rapid decay or sound.
@SirHairless11 ай бұрын
@@PtxXtp Yeah ok, so I think it's just a term they say - for exactly the same reason I thought of bells: it sounds like bells Unless the 'echo' effect of the PTX bell tones is what articulates the decaying of sound, but I don't think so. I think it's more the quick succession of entries between parts reminds us of a tolling bell

When you mentioned the "scrunch" reminded you of Imogen Heap, my ears perked up. I don't know for sure, but I believe PTX is quite the fan of Imogen Heap. After all, they did a cover of Aha! early in their career. So maybe they've used Imogen Heap as a big inspiration in their music over the years. You'll certainly want to check out their Aha! cover. I'm sure you'll enjoy that one. There is their official music video. There's also the live version of Aha!, Singapore, The Star Vista version. A little different than the original video where Mitch is, well, Mitch. Amazing even being recorded on someone's cell phone back then.

There aren't many songs sung by Pentatonix that can be sung better by anyone else, and in many cases that includes the people who made them famous. However, as good as this one is, I still find that the version done by Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams is better. Not because of the complexity of the production but because of the simplicity and depth of feeling it displays. In my view the song represents a personal plea from someone in love to the individual that he/she is in love with. It feels more real when sung by a single voice who can emote that love. This Pentatonix version is masterfully done and I listen to it often but it doesn't touch my heart the way Haley's does.

Much like all of The Arts, part of the joy is in realizing different interpretations = different ways to enjoy the same/similar pieces. I love that about music. Part of PTXs success is that they, themselves are music fans. They always honor the OG but add their own iconic/signature bits in their arrangements. eg: bell tones, Mitch slaps, crunchy chords, vocal percussion, etc. As a former choir nerd, thru and beyond college, these are the kinds of arrangements you beg your conductor to rehearse. If you’ve never heard/performed the Gretchaninov, holy radiant light-8 part harmony-we loved it. Small groups of us rehearsed it together in random places. Fond memories.

I never cared for Elvis so when I first saw they did this, I wasn't going to listen to it. Then I did and now, this is the only version I will ever listen to regularly again! Pentatonix changed my mind! I agree will you. All the 'scrunchy' chords are IT! But those don't make it in the least stressful or unsettling. It's so smooth and relaxing. I am so pleased you decided to listen on the backs of the others. I do love VoicePlay's version, it's SO different, but this is by far my favorite.

Mitch looks like he stepped out of a Gainsborough painting, fitting a look for his voice in this song. :) I truly love PTX take on this song, they sing with such quiet confidence, serenity, evoking feelings (for me) of tranquility, calm, and well, quite simply, happiness. I felt the same way when I first heard their rendition of The First Noel, which I thought was quite near perfection, and I don't want to put such a burden on any artist.. I'm drawn more to the perfectly-imperfect, especially if it is 'live'. I'm grateful for any performer who put themselves out there for our enjoyment. I also heard the faint chime sound with Kirstie and PTX-in-round allows me to focus on their individual voices /parts and yes, I do have a soft spot for Mitch-he knows how to tap into those emotional notes and nuances, but so does Scott. Thank you for covering this song Sir, and I hope your stress-filled day eases into a peaceful star-filled night.

Without Avi, some of the dynamics changed, yes... but they're only different, not better or worse. Matt contributes a great deal to their cohesion as a group. His vocals are obviously not as low as Avi's but they have their own "flavor", if you will. Rich and warm, happier...and a bit more in synch with Kevin. Those two make a great team and really play off each other. Try New Rules/I Am that Somebody to get a look at how well those two work together. Also...Kevin's Fifth on stage performance... Matt gets to be a part of it.

IIRC,, Kevin is the only member of the group who has "perfect pitch" - which makes sense, because that's invaluable to a stringed instrument artist. The rest of them have what Mitch described in an interview as "perfect relative pitch" - given a note, they can flawlessly harmonize with it, as needed for the arrangement. So it makes sense that Kevin would have those moving "crunchy" harmony notes.

I've been begging for a lullaby type album from PTX for yearssssssssss!!!!!! Scott wrote a song called Light in the Hallway as a lullaby for his nephew back when Avi was there & he wanted Avi to sing lead on it. It's absolutely ethereal & breathtaking. The things they are able to do always blow me away but often their more intimate or homophonic arrangements are the ones that have me salivating for a lullaby album. Maybe add some contemporary hyms or something to it as well. With their genius combined I just know it would be an album full of so many new creations for our ears to just melt to.

Have you reacted to Pentatonix’s Hallelujah? If not, their live Christmas version (2016) to me is better than the official video. The official video is epic itself.❤

Me too, I think their 2016 live version is better than the studio version which, of course, is phenomenal. How do they do it better than phenomenal?? No idea

Not yet! It's a heavily-requested one so with each passing day I'm thinking I will do the reaction when a certain milestone comes or something

Pentatonix definitely brings their Pentatonix brand. I like Voice Plays version and Diana's - all different - and all great! (better than Elvis lol. Well, I think he wrote it so I will give him credit where credit is due ❤R/A🎼
